Chris, aside from the grimace, have you noted any postive results from your presumable zinc repletion?

Dr Michael Colgan notes in one of his books - zinc absortaion varies between 40-02% depending on the food ingested, and losses via ejaculation are only 1mg, athletes could lose 12mg a day via sweat. Hes doesnt recommend more than 50mg.

Im may the now zinc glycinate(albion chelate) when my picolinate runs out.
